With home IPL (laser hair removal) being easily accessible now, I’d like to see other useful lasers developed for home use as I have a tattoo I’d like to remove.
I’m not particularly following this technology though, just moderately hopeful, which is as excited as I can get these days, that it’ll come along and be affordable before civilisation collapses.
(It’s not a tat of anything shameful, I just don’t like having to go outside or talk to people if I can possibly avoid it.)
She-Ra is my main comfort cartoon these days, but previous shows on rotation (that don’t often get mentioned on threads like these) have included:
Axe Cop
Bee And PuppyCat
Dogs In Space
Scavengers Reign
Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts
Major Lazer
Fair enough.
What happens on January 2nd?
I’m not christian, so idk if this counts but I really like all the festive vegan food options that have started being sold in the supermarkets at this time of year. They’ve gotten really quite good in the last half decade or so!
(Edit: my spelling is terrible, sorry!)
Eh, kinda. Not really friends though, more like I have a few neighbours who I’m comfortable having as barely acquaintances.
There’s the lady across the hall who occasionally brings my parcels/post up and I do the same for her.
Protein shake bro, who lives next door and has a loud blender. I’ve not actually met him but am deeply comforted by his shake making regularity.
The chubby Brazilians, the couple who sometimes take parcels for me when couriers insist on banging on the wrong door, and I’ve done the same for them too a few times.
The lady with the inverse door number to mine, we swapped numbers at one point but only ever text about recieving each others Amazon parcels. She stole my pasta maker during the pandemic though, so I lost her number. I see her on her balcony sometimes and used to hope she texted me so I could be like “no pasta maker. who dis?” but alas.
Aside from this (and tbh actually, including one or two) there’s a lot of crackheads, mentally disturbed, and domestically violent in my building, so it’s not really somewhere I’m comfortable being known by or inviting neighbours into my flat.
How often do folk accept your cakes? Have many new neighbours come by offering you baked goods too? Have you met folk who won’t accept your baked goods? Is it awkward?
Sorry for all the questions! This is only something I’ve ever seen done in tv and films and I’m so curious.
I’ve thought about doing this myself a few times and ended up coming to the conclusions that as I just don’t trust the hygiene or humanity of strangers enough to be comfortable with consuming food offered like this, and so it would also not be right for me to bake for strangers by assuming they should trust me and my hygiene and humanity, either.
Have you ever had neighbouring folk offer you baked goods that made you sick? Or that in hindsight once you learnt more about them and/or saw their homes, you regret eating the food they gave you?
Why are you sexualising prepubescent children? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Are you stupid or a paedophile?
Gender presentation isn’t sexual.
Delaying puberty and living as the opposite gender for a few years during childhood, isn’t permanent and can be fully reversed if the child changes their mind.
People like you, who keep insisting on correlating prepubescent children’s gender presentation with sexual behaviour, are the permantly damaging danger to these children.
If you ever feel like you’re going to harm a child because of these abhorrent sexual thoughts you’re having, go to a police station or a hospital and beg them to be locked up and medicated.
Or do the honourable thing and save everyone the harm of having to interact with a paedophile. Nobody of value wants people who sexualise and hurt children in their society.
I don’t understand what is so reprehensible about trans kids being able to socially transition to live as their chosen gender? Social transition is clothing and behaviour, not surgical or medical. If the kid doesn’t like it, they tried it, found out for themselves, and can stop whenever they want.
And what is so evil about trans kids being able to choose to delay puberty till 18, so they can as legal adults, then decide if they want to safely medically and surgically transition, or not and go through the puberty of their birth gender?
Going through puberty in the wrong body causes unbelievable distress to many trans kids, leading to eating disorders, self harm, suicide, and a whole load of other awful mental and physical problems.
Why is safely alleviating harm to these children by allowing them to socially transition and delay puberty, a bad thing?
No trans child is getting surgery. Puberty blockers are safe and entierly reversible.
Gender affirming care has nothing to do with your disgusting paedophillic fantasies about children. That you even correlate the two is reprehensible and telling of the type of person you are.
.
Intersex children (born with undefined anatomy) get operated on at doctors discretion from their birth onwards, but this isn’t a conversation about that, however immoral and harrowing it is.
Minors aren’t getting any surgeries.
Gender affirming care for trans kids involves seeing psychiatrists, social transitioning, and, if they’re lucky, puberty blockers till they’re old enough to decide whether they want to medically and surgically transition.
Likewise. I dread to think how expensive it’s going to be though.
